DESCRIPTION:
(3BL Media/Justmeans) – In a recent Gallup Poll Social Series survey, Americans have chosen environment as a priority over economic growth by a 50%-to-41% margin. This is a fresh change because ever since the economic downturn of 2008-09, Americans have invariably chosen economic growth over the environment, except for immediately after the BP oil spill in May 2010.
Traditionally, Americans have preferred environmental conservation over economic growth. Nearly every time that Gallup has asked this question over the last three decades, environment has scored over economic priorities. The percentage of Americans, who chose environment over economy, shot up to 71 percent in 1990.
